That was the main reason I had to dump NetSerial and start using Net2BBS ... 
they would ping my telnet port, 2 or 3 times in a row within milliseconds and 
NetSerial would freeze and error out.  It had no port blocking.

Once I switched to Net2BBS it handled it like a champ.  After a month or so of
them noticing the BBS still answered, they basically quit.  I get one or two 
here or there, but nothing drastic like I was.
